Again, parroting the same nonsense over and over again does not make it anymore true

I agree with this statement wholeheartedly.

EXAMPLE: stammering, desperately -- as some on this thread have done, in the doomed attempt to score however slight a point as they felt capable of achieving -- that Miers' advocacy for "civil rights" for gays and lesbians could be plausibly spun (somehow) as meaning something other than marriage and/or adoption rights for same, no matter HOW often repeated, or with what robotic persistence, cannot -- does not -- render it one jot or whit less nonsensical, or more "true."

It'd be nice, really, if everyone were willing to agree that rote repetition of apologist b.s. didn't do anything to make it more "true."

Ah, well. It's an imperfect world, isn't it...?

Overwhelmingly stupid. She didn't even support repealing the sodomy laws.
